Baked Teriyaki Salmon

Here is another excellent recipe for preparing salmon, if you prefer to bake instead of grill.  Personally, I think the marinade is one of the best I've found.  In fact, since the marinade is so good and will work with so many different types of dishes, I'm going to post a recipe for just the marinade here, as well.

INGREDIENTS
1 - 2 Pounds of salmon (Cut into strips 2 -3 inches wide)

MARINADE
3 Tablespoons Teriyaki Sauce
3 Tablespoons Hosin Sauce
3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
2 Cloves Minced Garlic
2 Teaspoons Grated Ginger
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar (Packed)

OPTIONAL
Sesame Seed
Chopped Green Scallions

PREPARATION
Put all marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix until sugar is all dissolved and the marinade is a liquid.  Coat the salmon with the marinade and put in the refrigerator to marinate for about 20 minutes to a half an hour.

COOKING
Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.  Remove salmon from the marinade and place in a baking dish.  SAVE THE MARINADE!!  Put salmon in the oven and cook for about 13 - 15 minutes, depending upon the thickness of the salmon.  Salmon will be flaky when done.

While the salmon is baking, pour the marinade into a small saucepan.  Bring pan to a quick boil, then back to simmer until the marinade thickens.

When the salmon is ready to serve, brush the marinade onto each piece.  Sprinkle sesame seed onto each piece of salmon, over the marinade.  Sprinkle some chopped green scallions on top and you're ready to serve!  The marinade has a very unique, sweet flavor but isn't overwhelming with fish.  I'm sure you will enjoy it!
